The Lord said: “May I be offered, with love and devotion, a leaf, a flower, a fruit, water, this offering I will accept.”

He who is animated by love for God and who expresses it can offer only a flower and a little water in the palm of his hand to the Lord by serving him with love and devotion, to satisfy him. It is only through devotional service that one can satisfy the Supreme Lord. Lord Krishna, God, The Supreme Person, who has a lot of affection for his devotees, gives himself in person to his holy servant (To his holy servant) who offers Him even a leaf of tulasi and a little of water in the palm of your hand. The Lord's unmotivated mercy for his devotee (or his devotee) is such that even the poorest of men can satisfy him by devoutly offering him a little water and a flower, because his relationships with his devotees are infused with affection.

The Lord is self-sufficient, and He has no need of everything we can offer Him. However, if we give him a little water, a flower and a tulasi leaf, He will accept them. Devotional service is most important to satisfy the Supreme Lord.

No one can escape the laws and instructions of the Sovereign Lord, whether through supernatural powers, scientific knowledge, austerities or penance. The thing is simply impossible.

In truth, everything is for the pleasure of the Sovereign Lord. God, the Supreme Person, is the Absolute Master, and everything exists only for his pleasure, so that everything must harmonize with his pleasure and his service. Whatever the
